Defect description

Utilimaster is recalling certain model year 2012 Reach vehicles manufactured from December 6, 2011, through August 14, 2012. The adhesive used to attach the floor mat to the floor in front of the driver's seat may deteriorate allowing the floor mat to separate from the floor. An unsecured floor mat could interfere with the throttle pedal.

Safety risk

Floor mat interference with the throttle pedal could prevent the throttle pedal from retracting to its normal position, increasing stopping distances and the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

The exisiting floor mat will be removed and a new floor mat will be installed with new adhesive and mechanical fasteners. The safety recall began on November 1, 2012. Owners may contact Utilimaster at 1-800-582-3454.
